100% Mulberry Silk Pillowcases

Our 100% mulberry silk pillowcases combine a particularly smooth surface with a soft and lightweight feel against the skin. The fine silk surface creates minimal mechanical friction against skin and hair, making the pillowcase a high-quality alternative to classic cotton covers.

Why silk pillowcases made of mulberry silk?

Mulberry silk has long, fine, and uniform fibers, which can be used to produce exceptionally smooth silk fabrics. For a pillowcase, this surface is particularly relevant, as skin and hair are in direct contact with the fabric for many hours during the night.

Silk can also absorb and release moisture. However, how a pillowcase actually feels during the night also depends on room temperature, bedding, and individual sensitivity to warmth.

The advantages of silk pillowcases

• Smooth surface: minimal mechanical friction against skin and hair
• Gentle on hair: especially beneficial for long, curly, dry, or delicate hair
• Lightweight feel: the fine surface rests softly on the face
• Moisture absorption: silk can absorb and release moisture
• High-quality texture: soft, smooth, and with the characteristic subtle sheen of silk

We explain the specific role the smooth silk surface plays for hair in detail in our guide "Are silk pillowcases good for your hair?".

Silk pillowcases made of 19-momme mulberry silk

Our silk pillowcases are made from 100% mulberry silk with 19 momme. Momme describes the fabric weight of a silk material and is an important metric when evaluating silk bedding.

19 momme offers a balanced combination of lightness, fabric density, and pleasant texture for pillowcases. A higher momme count does not automatically mean that a silk pillowcase is of better quality.

• 100% mulberry silk
• 19 momme
• smooth and fine surface
• envelope closure
• various colors and sizes

You can find out what exactly momme means and how 19, 22, and 25 momme differ in our guide "What does momme mean for silk? Quality, 6A, and standards explained".

Which silk pillowcase size is the right one?

Our silk pillowcases are available in the following sizes, among others:

• 40 × 80 cm
• 80 × 80 cm
• Special sizes upon request

The appropriate size depends primarily on the pillow being used. For individual dimensions, we also offer custom-made products.

Silk pillowcase or cotton?

Silk and cotton differ primarily in terms of surface, texture, and care. Silk has a particularly smooth surface and creates little mechanical friction. Cotton, on the other hand, is robust, versatile, and usually easier to care for.

There is no generally better choice. The deciding factors are the desired feel against the skin, personal care requirements, and preferred surface.

You can find a detailed comparison in our guide "Silk or cotton – which pillowcase is better?".

Colors and design

From classic white and elegant taupe to modern anthracite – our mulberry silk pillowcases are available in various colors and can be combined with different bedding colors.

How do you care for a silk pillowcase?

Silk should be cared for gently. Washable silk pillowcases can generally be washed at up to 30°C using a suitable silk detergent and a silk or delicate cycle, following the care label.

Heavy spinning, wringing out, and unnecessary heat should be avoided. Gentle air-drying is generally recommended.

Frequently asked questions about silk pillowcases

Are silk pillowcases good for your hair?

The smooth surface of silk can reduce mechanical friction between the hair and the pillowcase during sleep. This can be especially interesting for long, curly, dry, or delicate hair. However, a silk pillowcase does not fundamentally prevent hair breakage or frizz.

Are silk pillowcases good for the skin?

Silk has a particularly smooth surface and therefore creates little mechanical friction on the skin. Many people find this soft and smooth skin sensation pleasant. However, no medical or dermatological claims should be derived from this.

Do silk pillowcases help with sleep lines?

The smooth surface of silk creates little friction on the skin. However, the extent to which temporary impressions occur after sleeping also depends on sleeping position, pillows, skin type, and individual sleeping habits. A silk pillowcase therefore cannot fundamentally prevent sleep lines.

Which momme weight is suitable for a silk pillowcase?

Different fabric weights are offered for silk pillowcases. 19 momme offers a balanced combination of lightness, fabric density, and texture. A higher momme count is not automatically a sign of higher overall product quality.

Is mulberry silk real silk?

Yes. Mulberry silk is genuine natural silk. Its long and uniform fibers are particularly well-suited for producing fine and smooth silk fabrics.

Is satin the same as silk?

No. Silk refers to the fiber, whereas satin refers to a weave. A satin fabric can be made of silk, but it can also be made of other fibers. Anyone looking for a pillowcase made of real silk should therefore pay attention to the specific material composition.

How do you wash a silk pillowcase?

Always follow the care label. Washable silk pillowcases can often be washed at up to 30°C with a suitable silk detergent on a silk or delicate cycle and then gently air-dried.
